My mother and a doctor from Northwestern, Dr. Earle, tested my Mothers side of the family and discovered many members had Double Albumin. My mother, brother and my son have it. This was back in the early 60's. They even flew to Germany to test others in the family. I just found all the correspondence between the doctor and my mother. It is also called Turtle Blood......

@queenshae7697 Год назад

My 7 yr old AGAP is low (6.0 - normal is 8.0-16) but albumin is normal (3.9 - normal is 3.8-5.4) which seems odd. Does this mean I have no reason to be concerned?

@whatscookin8269 Год назад

My albumin is high 50 I also have pots when standing up to quickly ,I was 18 stone now 14 on low fat diet and more fibre I have noticed when drinking more water and replacing electrolyte I'm much better.

@chasehunt4415 2 года назад

I drank a protein drink an our before my blood panel like a dummy.. my only issue with the panel was my A/G being at a 2.5. im thinking the reason it was so high was because of my protein drink... or because of possible dehydration from a run i did hours before in the morning. Going in again for new panels..

@DoctorODonovan 2 года назад

Hope they go well. Thanks for watching.

@BagsEsquire Год назад

How were your new panels. My A/G was the exact same. Just got my results today.

@karlint39 2 года назад

If you look up hypoalbuminia (low albumin in the blood) the top reason given is "malnutrition" but for people eating "ordinary" diet in Western countries, "malnutrition" is the last thing that people think about. Is the standard medical advice simply to consume more protein? If malnutrition is indeed the reason for hypoalbuminia, does the person need to consume albumin (e.g. egg whites) or will any protein do? Another way to ask this question is what is the relationship between protein that is consumed in the diet and serum albumin levels in the blood? I'm sure it is more complicated than "eat albumin, get albumin in your blood."

@karlint39 2 года назад

I watched to the end before this second comment. Very useful information! You mentioned inflammation, but you didn't mention rheumatoid arthritis. Is that thought of as another possibility for causing low albumin?

@DoctorODonovan 2 года назад

I believe there is a documented associated between RA and hypoalbunemia in the literature --> "...albumin levels can be affected by the status of malnutrition found in 24.7 to 50% RA patients [33, 34]. The decreased albumin levels in our RA patients were confirmed by many other studies in the literature [6, 35]."

@maryhawker5003 Год назад

@@DoctorODonovan hello, I’m interested to hear your answer regarding Karlin’s question about diet correlation with increasing albumin levels in the blood, I read the RA case study you linked in your reply and it was fascinating. For these RA patients, I hope they can one day be cured or slow the progression of the disease and make dietary changes to encourage normal albumin levels. But I’m very curious to hear your opinion regarding any correlation between diet vs albumin!

Is 20mg/l urine microalbumin consider in normal range? Because I saw people mention below 30mg/g is consider normal. But my medical report show 20mg/l. Is mg/l and mg/g are the same?

@310sbell 2 года назад

I'm having a reoccurring issue a few times a year that my pre is too low to donate plasma. I eat really high protein totals, minimum of 1g to 1lb a day. Have recently lost about 25% of my weight through healthy foods, monk fasting and cutting out alcohol completely. Although my levels are low, my Alb and alpha 1 are high. Doctors in network are hard to find right now. Any suggestions to try and mark potential causes off the list? No swollen ankles No noticable fatigue I water down my coffee by using 1/4cup to a full pot. Drink over a gallon of water a day.

I can’t provide specific advice on individual clinical cases unfortunately as this is a medical education channel for general information (vs. Specific individual clinical advice) but if you have any concerns I always advise to see your nearest healthcare provider

@Timayy Месяц назад

If my albumin is high on every single blood test, does that mean I’m just always dehydrated? I drink a lot of water…

@bennguyen1313 2 года назад

Any recommended direct-to-consumer labs that have a kidney test panel (that includes serum Cystatin C)? For example, plugging in the numbers on the National kidney Foundation's GFR calculator, everything seems normal. *Blood Creatinine for eGFR? ex. .77 mg/dL => 107 ml/min/1.73 (I have low muscle mass) or Urine albumin to creatinine? ex. .3 mg/dl (3ug/ml) / creatinine 11.7 mg/dl => 26 I drink lots of water, yet, I'm chronically thirsty/constipated with very dry skin, I wake up extremely dehydrated (like a hangover).. often with swollen eyelids. I don't seem to retain it as I'm constantly waking up to go to the bathroom, even when I haven't drank anything just before bed! Would it be better to skip the estimate, and do an actual GFR measurement via a 24-hour urine collection?
